Across the approved 3-day course, IOSH Managing Safely delivers the knowledge needed for those in positions of responsibility to identify, evaluate and control workplace risks. This includes assessing the effectiveness and performance of the health and safety systems already in place across your organisation.
The IOSH Managing Safely course was developed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). This globally chartered body provides internationally recognised qualifications that promote high health and safety standards in the workplace, allowing employers to provide leading health and safety training to their staff.
This three-day IOSH Managing Safely course gives managers and supervisors the practical skills to protect their teams and strengthen their organisation. You’ll gain the ability to spot risks, apply effective controls, and learn from incidents — turning safety into a strength, not a burden.
By the end, you’ll not only meet your legal duties but build a culture where everyone goes home safe.
Available as an open course it fits around your schedule and delivers real impact.
